If you ever need help in Pittsburgh, you guys are more than welcome to come and play. You guys were seriously fucking good and it was a pleasure to play with you. I hope you had a safe ride home and enjoyed your night. There was so much jazz in my face.

Could I somehow get the mp3's of your first record? And when is the next one coming? You guys are so good. I'm sorry nothing worked last July with setting up a show here. We'll play together someday I'm sure. Any chance you guys will be in Maine on Aug. 15th?
